Genuflex. Not a name that I’ve heard many people say, but an album with all the calibre of a classic that just missed its moment. An #unspunhero, in fact.

It’s dark, malevolent in its music and yet light and beatific - perhaps even divine could be used to match the band’s name.

Go and have a read. You’ll be rewarded with a beautiful Bowie cover, a remix by Pop Group’s Mark Stewart, and a link to the album on a certain streaming service.

An album I listen to most weeks is the subject of this week's blog post. This is a band I've loved for years, too. They have many fans, but I still believe they're an #unspunhero - it's The Wave Pictures and Instant Coffee Baby: https://unspunheroes.com/2023/07/16/instant-coffee-baby-the-wave-pictures/

Convinced this is a gem of an album that’s been overlooked. That’s why it’s this week’s #unspunheroes blog post: https://unspunheroes.com/2023/07/02/colonel-abrams-colonel-abrams/

Perhaps an #unspunhero right now, not sure it’ll stay that way. Very much enjoying Robin Kester’s Honeycomb Shades.

Here at Unspun HQ we’re #nowplaying this gem of an #unspunhero, Emmett Finley. Part rock, part folk, part classical, country and gospel, it really defies genre labels. It is absolutely stunning, right through to the last track (a fave here at Unspun HQ).

Every Sunday, we'll be posting a blog about an #unspunhero (one we'd love to reissue on #vinyl, of course). The first one was always going to have to be something amazing...

An #unspunhero isn’t bound by genre or time. It could be thrash metal or folk, or both; it could have been released last year, or back in 1958.
